AN ONEHUNGA ROMANCE.

There has been a thrilling romance at Onehunga with a happy denouement; Sometime ago a lady, whom we will call Miss V., was engaged to be married to a Mr J., and everything was in readiness for the wedding. The fatal word had been spoken, the license obtained, the parson en« gaged, the ring bought, when le, within twenty - four hours of the time appointed for the ceremony, the bride, an indispensable part of the affair' disappeared. It soon leaked out that a prior engagement was her excuse. Some years before she had been deeply attached to a young man named W., of Wellington, who was cut off ,by death, but before the date of her marriage with. W., her second lover, she met the twin brother of W., so like the deceased in every way that tn|, ■ difference s^as*hardly recognisable by his mostfh*" timate tg&(lB: Miss V., with that facjj^y which is so eminently characteristic of many ladies, promptly transferred her affections from the hapless JF., to the twin, antt in due course of time ■ married him.
